What A Great Time! Thanks To Everyone!!!

I want to send a HUGE thanks to all who attended our party this past Saturday. We hope you had an awesome time I know I did!  Here is a quick recap...

Larry Bertlemann, that's right THE Rubber Man, was there and chatting it up with everyone.  What a great personality and very approachable he is.  Drew Brophy was his usual spectacular self, bringing pen art to life right before the party goers eyes.  Drew was kind enough to leave his pens out for the kids to thrash and paint the mini blanks US Blanks brought.  Balestar, Stamps, and Doc in the Futures Fish Bowl Shaping Bay was an awesome site to see.  Those guys were really tested as the lighting sucked, it was about 100 degrees inside, no air hose, and hundreds of people starring in from point blank range.  It was awesome to have Chad "The Lad" Wells (Quiksilver Team Manager) as our MC, he knows how to really fire up a crowd. 














We gave out so much free stuff thanks to all the vendor donations.  Thank you to the beautiful Ivie, who came in from Utah just to work the raffle booth.  Foam E-Z is donating $500 bucks to Surfrider Foundation from the money generated at the party.  The Jimbonaires were sending out killer music vibes throughout the event.  Food, thank to Chef Larry Meyers was on point, although I never got a chance to eat... 

What a surprise to be awarded that unbelievable hand-built Seventies Gun by the Crew at Foam E-Z.  You really didn't have to do but I love it!  

Thanks to the vendors and participants;  Drew and Maria Brophy = incredible art on the Aipa board... Stamps, Balestar, and Doc for donating their time and sweat to shape out those boards for the lucky winners, Matt Barker at Hurley for donating those awesome tees, Future Fins for the Fish Bowl and bitchen fin sets, US Blanks and Marko for the raffle blanks, Ryan Bryant at Delve for doing the bitchen four color screen printed tees, FCS for the incredible raffle package, Solspot for the beer, Resin Research and Revchem for the board building supplies for the raffle, Harbour Surfboards for the raffle stuff, Val and Duke Aipa for the board that Drew painted, Larry Bertlemann for the signed wax, and so on.  I really apologize if I missed someone and I'm sure I did. 

I want thank the Foam E-Z Crew for all that they did to help prepare for this and help make the day amazing.  Thanks to my beautiful wife and family for putting up with me over the last month and I was stressing miserably about this event.

Thanks again for all the support we really couldn't do it without you guys (customers and vendors)!

Itinerary And Updates For Our Party This Saturday!

Only two days to go until our 20 Year Anniversary Extravaganza!!!  It's going to be a day for of festivities, food, music, and fun!  The party will take place in the parking lot behind Foam E-Z from 10-3pm.

The day will start off with Tom Balestar shaping a bitchen 5'10" Retro Single Fin, similar to an Eighties Stussy.  When he's done shaping we will raffle the board off.  Next in the Future Fins Fish Bowl Shaping Bay is Tim Stamps.  Tim will be hand shaping a Stamps 5'8" fX Quad/5 Fin to be be raffled off when it is completed.  At noon, a ticket will be drawn and the winner will be creating his/hers custom board with Doc of Surf Prescriptions.  Here's what Doc had to say about what he'll be doing:  "Saturday June 1st we will be at Foam EZ in Westminster CA. to help Brad and his crew celebrate their 20th anniversary . Now who needs a Surf Prescription?   Some lucky individual will win a custom Surf RX this Saturday June 1st at 12 noon.  Winner needs to be present because you will be immediately sitting down with me and we will design your board in my Surf CAD system at  the Surf RX tent. Next I will head off to my Factory and cut your board on my shaping machine ( you can come with me if you'd like) after which I will be returning to the "Fish Bowl' shape room at the event and hand shape your cut blank. Your custom shape will then be glassed at my factory  Surf Prescriptions  in H.B. where you will be picking up your  custom Surf RX on its completion  Good luck  See you Saturday at the event.  PEACE OUT DOC".

In addition to all the shaping going on, Drew Brophy will spend the day doing pen art on party goers surfboards.  If you have never seen Drew in action I highly recommend checking this out.  He is world renown for his art work and his pen art surfboards.  Another cool exhibit will be live screen printing with a four color process.  Ryan Bryant of Delve will be screen printing your tees to order.  If that's not enough, there will be live music by the Jimbonaires - Cameron Vogel on drums, free burgers, hot dogs, Pop Chips, Vitamin Water, raffles every hour, lot's of freebies, and 10% Off everything in the shop.

I'm gonna blow my lid...

See you at the gig!
